[PLEASE READ - Daily reports, snow depths, resort status]

Good idea

[The riddle of the Japanese (ski) economy]

Glenshee?

[Cho-yummy things]

Definitely want to go there!

Must go on an empty stomach!

[New SnowJapan stickers and flyers - want some?]

Sure do!

 

Thanks sent in the form.

[2011/12 Who, When, Where? - A Definitive J-List]

2 weeks or so in Nagano in February.

Flights are booked, everything else is being thought over and planned.

[Cho-yummy things]

Can't wait to get to Japan and try all the food I have been dreaming of.

[11/12 Japan ski/snowboard plans]

I saw a thread for last year, but what about this next season?

 

I haven't spent much time in Japan, certainly not as much as I would like to, but hope this next season I can get a good 3 weeks in.

 

My plan:

 

- 2 weeks in February in Nagano, checking out a few of the main places

 

- might sneek in a bit of Niigata too

 

- few days in Tokyo at relatives place

[Where to ski in early february -12?]

If all goes well, I will spend half of Febraury in Nagano, with a sprinkling of Tokyo in there.

[Honshu out of the question, where would you go?]

Good on you ILoveZao.

 

I have heard many stories of kindness like this.

Makes me love Japan all the more.

[Exchange rates at the moment]

Rates are harsh at the moment.

 

Luckily I have a bit of cash in an account in Japan that a relative looks after for me so I can use that. Converting now would be painful.

[Skier or snowboarder THE POLL]

Ski.

 

First time was 20 years ago, when I was 9. Done a fair bit of riding the last 10 years mostly in Europe.
